per hour. He knows your best time is 3 miles per hour so he gives you a 3 mile lead. When will he catch you? How far behind are you when Mr. Fowles finishes the race? How much longer will it take for you to finish?

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the time rate of change of velocity, it is the ratio of distance to time.

Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. The time taken to cover 26 miles is:

speed = distance / time

time = distance / speed = 26 / 4.2 = 6.19 hour

I run at 3 miles per hour. I was given 3 mile lead, so the remaining distance is 23 miles (26 - 3). The time needed to complete the 23 miles is:

time = distance / speed = 23 / 3 = 7.67 hour

a) Let d be the distance Mr Fowles catches me. Hence:

time = (d + 3)/4.2; also time = d/3

(d + 3)/4.2 = d/3

3d + 9 = 4.2d

1.2d = 9

d = 7.5 miles

He would catch me at 10.5 (7.5 + 3) miles from the starting point.

b) Mr. fowles finishes after 6.19 hour. At that time, the distance is have covered is:

distance = 6.19 * 3 mi/hr = 18.57 mile

Distance behind = 23 mile - 18.57 = 4.43 mile

c) time longer = 7.67 hour - 6.19 hour = 1.48 hour

Read the following statement: Line segment CD is congruent to line segment EF. Which of the following is an equivalent statement
Natasha_Volkova [10]

An equivalent statement is CD overbar congruent to EF overbar.

What is a line segment?

The line segment has two fixed-length endpoints, A and B. The distance between this line segment's endpoints A and B is its length.

Here,

Line segment CD is congruent to line segment EF and in geometry, an overbar represents a line segment.

So, we can say that the CD overbar means line segment CD and the EF overbar means line segment EF.

Hence, An equivalent statement is CD overbar congruent to EF overbar.
